Children of Mercury is a bold new account of the lives of
pre-modern painters, viewed through the lens of The Seven Ages of
Man, a widespread belief made famous in the 'All the world's a
stage' speech in Shakespeare's As You Like It. Spike Bucklow
follows artists' lives from infancy, through childhood, adolescence
and adulthood, to maturity, old age and death. He tracks how lives
unfolded for both male and female painters, from the famous, like
Michelangelo, through Artemisia Gentileschi and Mary Beale to those
who are now forgotten, like Jehan Gillemer. The book draws on
historic biographies, artists' own writings and, uniquely, the
physical evidence offered by their paintings.
